Could you provide your detail on why you think it would be sooner? Is your comparison thought, the physical enforcement of laws = 1930's germany? Like if someone runs from the police and they capture him, they captured him like the brownshirts would have kidnapped jews?
Seven police officers for someone who littered?
How about a Public Defender arrested for not wanting a client be photographed and questioned by a police officer without a lawyer present?

How about a man getting pepper sprayed because he walked too close to a police officer while on the phone?

Now the video in the OP starts out with the man was standing there talking on the phone, surrounded by the cops. What did the man do that required all those officers in the first place? While I was not there as a witness, my gut tells me besides the littering, the man's other offense was that he probably did not end the call he was on immediately when told by the officer.
It goes with the growing trend in law enforcement to totally fuck over people who do not take every word spoken by an officer as an order to be instantly obeyed without question.
A cop tells you to sit down and you don't immediately sit, out come the cuffs. Walk down the street and a cop stops you and wants to see your ID and you refuse, out come the cuffs. Cop tells you to hang up the phone or stop recording and you don't, out come the cuffs.
It seems like many officers forget they are dealing with civilians and not other law enforcement or military who are trained to obey orders instantly and without question. It seems like many people are getting tired of this but are afraid to speak out because they fear drawing the attention of the police.
Add all this up and pretty soon you have a society looking over their shoulder in fear of somehow drawing the attention of the police, because if you do not respond instantly to the officer's liking, you could get beat up and or sent off to jail.
Maybe I am overly sensitive, I had relatives (all dead now) who grew up in Nazi Germany, and what I am seeing and reading about today really does come close to the stories of how life was like back then for them.
